  1. Callum says:

    Good graph :)

  2. Callum says:

    oh, btw… first :)

  3. Nick R. Bocker says:

    I didn’t realize that names of states were opinions.

    • Nick R. Bocker says:

      Or that “Git r’ done” could be classified as an ambiguous amount such as few, some, and many.

      • IvanTheMildlyAnnoying says:

        You’re obviously not from the south, or ever been here.

        • ChannieChannie says:

          I’m from Texas, and I think that’s hilarious. I personally don’t own a saying belt buckle… but I’ve seen some pretty failtastic ones.

        • Nick R. Bocker says:

          Thank you for attempting to tell me where I’m not from. I was starting to feel a bit disoriented, and your astute deduction that I am not from the south has eliminated that possibility from my choices as to where I am from. [/sarcasm]

          If you are insinuating that I am not a hick or a redneck, you are correct; however, I am from The South (Georgia, though I wasn’t born here, I’ve lived here since I was 3), and never have I ever heard anyone say something like, “Well, in my opinion, Nebraska,” or “I’ve had git r’ done beers tonight.”

  4. ladykitteh says:

    Graph type FAIL.

    Oh wait. Entire graph FAIL.

  5. E says:

    I could be wrong, but from my experience in Texas (born and raised there until the college years), most belt buckles say some kind of 4-H championship. Or maybe something about cattle showing, AQHA and rarely about a rodeo championship of sorts. They’ve also almost entirely been purchased in Good Will or Thrift Town and are then donned by mostly hipsters and UT frat types.

  6. Schooly says:

    epic meh

  7. Vince says:

    Y-axis fail…
    and you put the apostrophe in the wrong place. Git ‘r done – it’s the “he” in “her” that’s missing <- pet peeve of mine!

    • Homer says:

      The crowd saying that can’t read anyway, so who cares? Go watch another Larry the Cable Guy movie, forgetting that “larry the cable guy” (real name: Dan Whitney) was raised in Nebraska, went to private school in Florida, and developed the “Larry” character to mock those who now put “git ‘r done” on a bumper sticker on their pickup trucks.

      He mocks his own audience, and they are the only ones not in on the joke.

    • Dan says:

      “it’s the “he” in “her” that’s missing”

      bowchikka bow bow.

  8. Poodlegroomer says:

    You don’t see 10″ Florida Belt Buckles.

  9. brian says:

    I take exception to the idea that any belt buckle proclaiming Texan greatness could be considered an “opinion”. They are facts. I know they are facts because we will shoot someone if they were to disagree what the buckles say.

  10. cyhiraeth says:

    Obviously, this person has never been to Oregon.

    • Brian says:

      …or Maine. NH and Maine have a pseudo cowboy/southerner fixation but get a few things wrong like donning leather hats.

      • Jimbo is bored says:

        We call them urban cowboys in Ohio. Of course we have real livestock hands, so that makes it even worse. I love seeing them. Makes for a chuckle.

    • Kookaburra says:

      Ha ha ha, that’s what I was going to say. I went to a rural High School in Oregon, and you could always tell the days after the rodeo championships…

      Of course, it really became annoying when local Hunter/Jumper horse shows started giving out belt buckles as trophies as well – in what universe does that make sense?!

  11. rach says:

    As a long-time resident of the Maine/NH area, I never realized such belt buckles were popular. Anywhere. You’d get laughed at for wearing something like that around here.

  12. RJ says:

    I must comment but not on this graph. A person I know wore the following ensemble. A pair of loafers, a gray t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, a pair of red and orange plaid shorts, and a large belt with a large belt-buckle. I had to go back into my classroom to not laugh at him to his face. Yes, it was a student of mine and yes, I live in Texas.

  13. fiona says:

    it should be a bar graph

  14. Emily says:

    This is complete crap. I have lived in Texas all of my life and- on occassion– you will see someone with a belt buckle (which is usually from 4-H or a rodeo they have won), but “Git R Done” is something found funny by a small group of people that live all across the US- not just Texas. I have never associated myself with people like that or actually seen someone with that kind of belt buckle. We get tired of redneck generalizations just because we live in Texas. Guess what? We drive CARS to work, too, not horses.

    • Sussianne says:

      I don’t know about that. I see quite a few here in Fort Worth that will make you chuckle. Even for those who drive cars, but why. I was told the main point of the huge buckle was to keep the horn of the saddle from impaling you. Then again I’ve seen some use it as a makeshift truss. Us city folks just never own those in the first place.

      Gotta have a sense of humor. Just laugh it off Emily.

      Altho, I think they could have added Wyoming and Montana to that list of giant belt buckles.

  15. Trix says:

    This graph fails.

  16. Most are worn ironically, though. Anything involving hunting, fishing, trucks, tractors, PBR, or other references to “blue-collar” pastimes is like crack to hipsters.

    But I’m in Austin, so it might be different elsewhere.

  17. Viking.loftus says:

    I take it you have never been to Oregon. In the Portland area it’s mostly latino folk that rock the Belt Buckles, and it’s the “son’s of the earth” or rednecks that think Belt Buckles are high fashion.

  18. Sarah says:

    Hahaha I love that!
    (I’m from texas btw)

  19. seth says:

    shouldnt this be a bar graph?

  20. cowgurl_chic says:

    heck yeah…. but atleast i won all my belt buckles and didnt buy them myself just to make me look like i was the $#*&…

  21. Ozaku says:

    I’ll actually say thats accurate; I live in oklahoma now and I go to texas alot… thats not a stereotype, its true…
